I bought an M-Edge Trip jacket and eluminator light for my T1, and they arrived yesterday.

The M-Edge product page says it is for the T1, but the packaging only says it is for the latest generation Kindle.

But the T1 does fit, as the case is pretty universal. It looks like quite a loose fit in the straps, but the T1 doesn't move around at all. There's enough friction between the T1's slightly rubberised back and the case's microfibre lining to help stop any movement.

The T1 sits in with about 10mm space at the top, 5mm at the bottom, and about 7mm space on the right. It isn't going to get damaged if you knock the case, which is nice. The USB port and power switch at the bottom are accessible.

The cover's a nice feeling canvas, and the spine's plastic. The spine's quite stiff, but it bends back OK and the closing elastic strap keeps it bent back. It looks smart, and isn't bulky.

I'm a little unimpressed by the light, or at least the way the light fits into the right edge of the jacket. That's crazy! With a touch-sensitive switch it is going to be accidentally turned on a lot. Why not fit the light to the left of the T1, so it stays safe in the spine? So a "hm" on that one for now, I'll see how it works out.

But all in all, I'm happy. I got them very cheaply as it looks like Waterstones (UK) are clearing out their stock, and my T1's screen is now protected
